Dear friends — at long last, I’m grateful to have made an arranging debut with my hometown band, the New York Philharmonic, featuring tenor Joshua Banbury, for a concert as part of the “Authentic Selves” series curated by Anthony Roth Costanzo, in collaboration with the National Black Theatre. See below for a couple of mementos.  Grateful to an old friend for bringing me to task, and to the creative team for the luxury of rehearsal time!
